The Runaway Me
April 9, 2015
Running away was the only option
You want to know why? Because I was scared
The word that describes it is corruption
I watched with blurry eyes as my dad stared
I needed to be in my safe haven
I thought I couldn’t face the world again
The feeling of happiness was craven
I tilt my head to feel the fallen rain
The sun sets reminding me to go home
But what if my home isn’t my haven
But I can’t stay forever in the dome
The beautiful birds above were ravens
The little run away me was frightened
Little me was forever enlightened
